Description
The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is seeking market information on software solutions that can manage child‑care provider time, attendance, and copayment tracking for the Idaho Child Care Program. The RFI is intended to shape a future RFP, estimate budgeting, and identify capable vendors. Respondents must describe their capabilities, prior experience, any acquisition‑readiness concerns, lessons learned, and provide high‑level cost estimates and implementation timelines. No price commitment is required, and all submissions become public record.
• Core functions: time‑sheet capture, attendance verification, copayment collection, audit‑ready reporting, fraud‑prevention.
• Desired extensions: billing, scheduling, enrollment management, and real‑time capacity data for a public dashboard.
• Technical constraints: mobile‑first access, low‑bandwidth operation, integration with Idaho’s existing child‑care management database (no new database replacement).
• Deliverables: company overview, capability statement, risk/issue identification, cost estimate (one‑time, recurring, discounts), and implementation schedule.
